Nightmare

I'm living in a nightmare
I'm choking on my words again
It's not fair
You took me for granted when you walked away
You walked away
And fed your ego
With every lie of my demise
It filled up
The empty space inside your head
You have no clue
Your thoughts are sold to you, well
You can't say you gave it all you had
You can't say you gave it your best shot
But I can
You're a fucking asshole
With no respect for anyone
That you deem
"Less than you"
It's so pathetic
Don't you see
Don't you see
That when you sell out (sell out)
All your friends to get ahead
You don't win (don't win)
With all the flies inside your head
You must agree
You must agree that
You can't say you gave it all you had
You can't say you gave it your best shot
But I can
Oh, sweet misery
The things you do to me
They're tearing out the insides of my heart
Oh, the irony of things you say to me
They're tearing out the insides of my heart
You can't say you gave it all you had
You can't say you gave it your best shot
But I can
And I'm so happy to see you go
I'm so happy to see you go (3x)
You don't even know
I'm so happy to see you go (4x)
(You don't want to, you don't want to)
You don't even know
You don't even know
Sweet misery, the things you do to me
They're tearing out the insides of my heart
Oh, the irony of things that you say to me
They're tearing out the insides of my heart
I'm living in a nightmare
